Forward to a last-minute listing

Post by DooWahDiddy » Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:50 pm

I hesitated about submitting to this one, but I'm glad I did because I got a forward! It was the one looking for "beach"-y songs for a commercial, and my song "Perfect With You" made the cut. That's now the fifth forward for that particular song; something's bound to pan out, right??


Dear Passengers, The Ad Agency that needs music for this new commercial has opened up to some other musical ideas – presumably for different versions of this company’s ads. This has a very quick turnaround, so read this now! EMOTIONALLY UPBEAT SONGS with Male, Female, or Duets Vocals are needed by a well-connected Non-Exclusive Music Library that’s working directly with an Ad Agency that needs music for an online Commercial featuring “Beach-y” furniture from a Major Brand. The estimated license fee will be $5,000, but could potentially be higher. We just ran an “Island-Style” opportunity as TAXI Listing #U160204BS, and they’re now open to other genres like traditional, contemporary, roots-y, or indie versions of Country, Americana, Folk, or Bluegrass songs. Please submit Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the broad stylistic range of these references: “Some Beach” by Blake Shelton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTT2LEyjdC4 “Roll With It” by Easton Corbin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GViSUaYLh0 “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems” by Kenny Chesney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-01jhW_Yzhs “Water” by Brad Paisley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AHnQtY1bg4 “Sweetwater Sea” by Greensky Bluegrass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIn2U3W7RqU “Summercamp” by The Infamous Stringdusters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8XrVwKOP4o “Long Summer” by Steep Canyon Rangers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWOmS7wx1gk “5 Years Time” by Noah And The Whale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8YCSJpF4g4 “Shake” by The Head and the Heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hkZbVsrPY “We Are The Tide” by Blind Pilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzKDfVdMuMo Quoting the source: “Lyric themes and overall vibe can reflect concepts like; Fresh, Unique, Charmed Life, Good Life, Love, Kiss, Ocean, Dock, Water, Sunset, Island, Relax, Unwind, Beach, Sea, Coast, Sand, Sun, Style, Party, Jump, Beat, Dance, Fun, Tonight, Energy, Rhythm.” Please submit light, bright, fun, emotionally uplifting songs that could support this furniture brand’s new collection. Your submissions should have a positive feel, with a lyric theme that resonates with a “beach-y” furniture collection’s potential buyers. Your submissions should have solid musicianship, great vocals, and solid production. Lyric themes can vary, but should generally revolve around the “key words” and concepts mentioned in the quote above. Universal lyrics that avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity will work best. General mentions like, Sunset on the beach” are okay. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (Great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fee for this opportunity is $5,000. This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal. Sync fees will be split 50/50 with the library. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit one to three Songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. All submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT) on Thursday, January 28th, 2016. TAXI #U160128RS
